Biolife's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways Chipotle burrito in one hand, a glass of single malt scotch whiskey in the other, body totally worn out screaming "HOLY SH*T...WHAT A RIDE
I love dinosaurs....
CAVEAT:
I was an English major in college and still am a promiscious reader. However, my grammar and spelling blow. I can proof-read my own stuff but can't explain why something is wrong. If you start talking about "participles" and "helping verbs" and I start looking like a deer in headlights. If you ask me to diagram a sentence, I will probably burst into tears.
me and my siblings. Aside from my husband, my big brother is my most favorite person in the ENTIRE WORLD. We joke that the 2 of us have a timeshare on the same brain.
A really bad picture of a really awesome dress I made.
My poor husband has to put up with me and my Lucille Ball like cavorting and misadventures. Poor guy. But I love him!
I also like to descend enmasse upon fabric stores in victorian clothing, just for the fun of it. I adore victorian fashion, literally. I think its more flattering than ANY modern outfit. My favorite time period in historical clothing ranges from 1830 to about 1905, everything else you can have, but anything in between is MINE ALL MINE!
I converted or "adopted" Judaism on March 30th 2009! it was fabulous and I finally feel at home, like i fit in somewhere for the first time in my life! My journey has been at times frustrating, rewarding, utterly fulfilling and absolutely surreal. I love it. I am happier now than I ever have been in my entire life! I converted to the Reform stream because well, thats where i just feel right at home.
I love British Humor and have ever since I was really little and for some reason my father let me watch Monty PYthon and the Holy grail at the tender age of 7.
I love to use $5 words. Some of my favorites include: excommunication, defenestration, tenacity, hematoma, and circumnavigation.
Some quotes I find amusing:
"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for government, supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the massses not from some farcical aquatic ceremony" -MOnty python and the Holy Grail
"God the almighty and all knowing has misplaced a cup?" "apparently" - Spamalot
"Ah Hello, its nice to see you all here, Now as the more perceptive of you have realized, this is Hell. And I am the Devil, good evening. But you can call me Toby if you like. WE like to keep things informal here as well as infernal" - Rowan Atkinson.
"what in fact is an evil giraffe? how do they.... "I will eat all the leaves on this tree, I will eat more leaves than I should. And then other Giraffes may die. ah Ha ha ha! I am an evil herbivore " - Eddie Izzard
"I like the old fahioned flowers, violets are for me, have them made in diamonds by the man at Tiffany" -Eartha Kitt
"There are shops in Paris where nothing is for sale. No matter how hard you beg. I think people get lonely, their apartments get full and rather than rent a storage space, they rent a boutique. Tthen they sit in the middle of it, gloating over their fine taste" - David Sedaris, When You Are Engulfed in Flames.
"Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before. "
Mae West
I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
Groucho Marx
" Listen, you might want to pack a few of your things together before going to bed. The former Archbishop of Turkey will be coming tonight... and they might put some candy in your shoes, they might stuff you in a sack and take you to Spain, or they might just pretend to kick you. We don't know for sure, but we want you to be prepared. " - David Sedaris. Dress Your Family in Courderoy and Denim.
"I am an extraordinarily patient person, provided I get my own way in the end" - Margaret Thatcher
"But I want to tell all of my friends that i'm building a home for future bastards" -Judy Dench, Mrs Henderson Presents.
"Do not do to others what is hateful to yourself, the rest is commentary, go and study" -Hillel
